 * Hi, i´ve been changing my stuyle.css values for my sidebar and suddenly it stopped
   working (only the sidebar effects and icons).
    ´ve been checking but everything
   seems to be ok… ¿any suggestions? [http://www.dgmp.com.ar](http://www.dgmp.com.ar)

 * Also, are you sure you forced a refresh of the page in the browser (in Windows
   this is usually CTRL-F5 or CTRL plus the refresh button) to make sure the browser
   has updated the CSS in the cache? It might be displaying the old version.
 * PS I may be wrong, but it also sounds like you might be editing the files directly
   from the WP-Admin. If so, that’s not a good idea. Better practice is to get a
   decent HTML/CSS editor (there are lots of free ones, so Google it) and make a
   backup of your original CSS file. I personally find it helpful to comment out
   code rather than delete it, and put my name in the comment so I can find what
   I edited later.
